The main exhibition, TIME IS PRESENT. Designing the Common, at Casa do Design, invites us to consider design practices as a constituent part of the creation of shared social ecosystems, where the Common is not a foundation but a production, an invention of a state of becoming, in which designers collectively reclaim the relational, collaborative, and qualitative dimensions of shared experience as an essential alternative to the exploitative logic of contemporary capitalism.

What happens when design shifts from solving future problems to gardening present possibilities through collective agency?

Bringing together over 60 projects, this manifesto exhibition showcases a variety of design initiatives and innovative formats, organised according to the most participatory common factor: our emotions.

The exhibition invites us to recognise that emerging cultural practices cultivate everyday capacities — such as attention, care, and collective imagination — while simultaneously inviting the public to experience different temporalities that recognise our constitutively relational nature, acting out of love rather than fear.

Programa Principal

Exhibition

"TIME IS PRESENT. Designing the Common" is a manifesto exhibition that showcases a variety of design initiatives and innovative formats, organised according to the most participatory common factor: our emotions.

Happisodes

Promoted by the Porto Design Biennale, Happisodes are co-design projects between designers, communities, and municipalities that bring to life, in Porto and Matosinhos, the joy of collectively recognising that the present can be reimagined. They are living, inhabited processes where design gives shape to the common.

Publications

Book publishing is a fundamental part of the Porto Design Bienniale, conveying, through the editing and materiality of the books and catalogues, the concept and curation of the projects.

Constellations

The selected projects are independent and autonomous projects regarding curation, financing and production that engage with the theme of this edition.

Porto Design Biennial Headquarters

O Exploratório, Sede da Porto Design Biennale, é um (não) espaço onde a cultura e a gastronomia se reúnem.
